Hi Jerry,

What is the property going for? email me Brandydanu@yahoo.com

Thanks,

Brandy

Are locals ruled out of this?Some people I've mentioned it to are interested but they are not on the internet.

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHERE IN TREASURE BEACH THIS PIECE OF LAND IS.Eyrieguy you sent me a picture but the soil is red and by right Treassure Beach do not have "Red Soil".I think people should not be missled about exact location when land goes up for sale.To me Treasure Beach is not Pedro Plains/Cross Roads/ Flagaman/Bacon etc,etc.Treasure Beach is Sandy Bank/Calabash Bay/Frenchman/Lewis Town/Upper Billys Bay.
If anyone agrees with me please feel free to voice it here.

A friend emailed me the pictures and it looks like Lewis Town to me.

Nelly where is upper Billy's Bay ? I'm from there and I did not know there was a Upper Billy's Bay and what about Great Bay? Please do tell where is Upper Billy's Bay? Hope I still live in Billy's Bay .

What about Great Bay & Fort Charles ????

Where is Lewis Town ????

Lewis Town do not have red earth.And Lewis town is not on a hill over looking the ocean.I cannot think where in Lewis Town you can see the Ocean.
I know you can see the mountain some call it the Santa Cruz Mountain even though Santa Cruze is in a valley.I would call it Malvern/Monroe/Southfield mountain going all the way forming the Pedro Bluff and ending in the ocean at Great Bay with the Kaiser Buxite company now called Alpart behind and Alligator Pond the next village next to that,right where Little Ochie is that place that have all the good sea food everyone talks about.

In April, while in TB with my family, we took a walk between Great Bay and Calabash Bay, where we came upon red soil...

Definately Treasure Beach, definately red soil.

Lewis Town is North-West of Frenchman

Simple put, Upper Billy's Bay is the section closest to Frenchman and Lower Billy's Bay would be the section closest to Fort charles

Growing up as a child my parents use to say Upper Billys Bay and Bottom Billys Bay and that is why I'm saying this.They told us Upper was from where Miss Meana's house is to where the other family of Clarks live.I think her name was Florrie.You will see I have Lewis Town as TB.
Peace and Love.

I believe Bluntas hill is a sure shot. It has red soil and definately you are overlooking the sea. ????

I have not seen a picture of the property therefore I can comment. However I would like for Nelly to please explain to me where is Upper Billys Bay. I am Billys Bay to the born, and this is the first time in my 39 years I am hearing of Upper Billys Bay also, I did not know that Lewis Town was part of Treasure Beach. I have always thought that Treasure Beach were made up of Great Bay, Calabash Bay, Frenchman Bay, Billys Bay and Fort Charles Bay (these are the 5 bays which are located directly on the beach stretch). Anyway I would like to know where this property is located, I sent an enquiry to the original poster, but no response todate.

If people would clean up their land you could see the beach from a lot of places in Lewis Town Red dirt is in Lewis Town.

Lewis Town is also called Big Ground. Turn right by the tree in Frenchman's and then the next left. It's up by the Seven Day camp. There is a red dirt and a view of the Santa Cruz mountains. The original poster did not mentions views of the sea...he/she just said 'lovely views'. The pictures that I saw looked like this area.

ok, Big Ground I have heard of.

Thanks Nelly but there is only one Billy's Bay as for Neighbouring District there is nothing simple about your solution.

Upper Billy's Bay/Middle Billy's Bay/Bottom Billy's Bay what difference does it make.I will again say that's the way I was told by my parents when I was growing up in Treasure Beach.As long as you love your place of birth that's all that matters.I have family living from Southfield all the way to "Bottom Billy's Bay" I love them all the same.I also have family living in Great Bay.One of my Grandmother was from there.
LOVE YOU ALL,
GOD BLESS.

First of all you can see the ocean from some parts of Lewis Town. I'm from Lewis Town, left as a little kid and my whole life I thought it was part of Treasure beach, but Billy's Bay Born & Bred said its not a part of Treasure beach. I want to know if Lewis Town is not a part of Treasure beach then what is it a part of St. Elizabeth?

To all of you who do not know about treasure beach - of course Lewis town is a part of treasure beach, Lewis town is even closer to Frenchman and calabash bay compared to Billy's bay. Just because they are bays, that does not make them Treasure Beach. I just want to let you guys also know, that Lewis town is not a apart of Big ground. Big Ground has red soil but Lewis Town does not have red soil. When I was growing up in Treasure Beach I always heard about upper and lower Billy's Bay. Mr Davis, Mass Alva, and Brother Roddy, was from Upper Billy's Bay, and the James Family, the Buchanan Family, and so on was from lower Billy's bay. Which should not be classed as Treasure Beach, that should be a part of Fort Charles. Anyway guys it doesn't matter where is the cut off point of Treasure Beach, we all come from the most beautiful place in St Elizabeth, So let us all enjoyed every moment of it. Although I am not living in Jamaica, I am still proud to be a part of Treasure Beach, and been a Jamaican, This is Jamaica, My Jamaica, The land of my Birth, [TREASURE BEACH]

I am not going to debate on others comments, what I am saying is what I read in black and white. I know many of us repeat "when I was growing up this is what I was told" well werent we all told that babies were delivered by plane or that the rolling calf is coming for us. What I am trying to say our parents/grandparents told us what they thought to be so.

Had not for the destruction of a book I once read many years ago then I would direct you to this publication which specifically stated that "Treasure Beach is made up of five quite fishing bays along the coastline of St. Elizabeth. Now, unless I am naive, those bays are Great Bay, Calabash Bay, Frenchman Bay, Billys Bay and Fort Charles Bay.

Yes, I embrace everyone from the surrounding districts and often times refer to all as from Treasure Beach, but for record sake Treasure Beach
is recorded as been the 5 bays. And Billys Bay (whether Upper, Middle or Lower) is difinately part and parcel of Treasure Beach.

We want private Beach, now division, how about a Mayor for each town based on votes

Was this a posting about land for sale?
or is it about locations in treasure beach?

Land for sale in Sav-La-Mar
Beautiful 2 1/2 acres of land in Three Miles River on the main highway to Georges Plain. This land is situated three miles out of Sav-La-Mar town. Interested party can e-mail me at Jasminward@sbcglobal.net for further information. Thanks

if you went to Sandy bank school, you will know that Great bay pickney stick together and Treasure beach pickney stick together. Some people dont know dem geography, bottom billys bay is not treasure beach and neither is great bay, dont believe every thing you read in books, its not always correct.

Thanks Mayor of Lewis Town,I will not believe everything that I read, and in doing so, I will start with your posting.

Bigground does not have an ounce of red dirt unless brought in from the Beacon, Newcombe Valley or New Savannah area due to the recent floodings. I was born there. The soil is as yellow as gold, very muddy when it rains. It is West of Lewis Town, very remote and could earn the name Lewis Town since it's small population was 95% Lewises.

Billy's Bay to the bone, why be bashful to people who are just simple trying to help you develop "a sense of direction. Is it going to take a Rocket Scientist to make you see that when people refer to Upper and Lower Billy's Bay they are not saying it's a Geographical Point on the Map, they are just making a general statement as like saying East or West Billy's Bay. (Guess you'll be saying there is no East or West Billy's Bay).
Simple put again, saying Upper, Lower, East, West, North, South part of any District, Village, City, Town, State, Parish, Providence, County, Continent, Country in the world is just a general term used in giving direction.

*Let the buyers, decide if the lands being advertise is suitable for them and not based on where which area of St. Elizabeth is situated; that was the intent of this topic.

This debate is so beautiful &healty iwish our leaders could hold elections with the same healthy spirit i see taking place over a piece of land for sale .Love you all fr Manchester originally.

Well all I have to say to everyone we are all from Treasure beach because all of those places that were mention are a part of treasure beach. If these places are not a part of treasure beach well the book is wrong because I remembered there was a book stating those places being a part of treasure beach. If you want to find the truth go do a research and look up that book. The name of the book is wonderful treasure beach.

I wonder why Jerry - the original poster has never came back to say exactly where the land is and put all of the debate and speculation to rest???

I am not been bashful, If you had read and comprehend the posting by Mayor of Lewis Town then yo would understand my posting. Firstly I clarified that I was never told about either Upper or Lower Billys Bay, is something wrong in not knowning. Secondly Mayor of Lewis tried to denounce Billys Bay as been part of Treasure Beach and according to my previous and research (presently pursuing) I share the information that include Billys Bay in Treasure Beach. I was chastised by Mayor of Lewis for believing in what I read. If you had understood my posting, I was just thanking the poster for engligten me, as I dismissed what he said. Because common sense should tell us that the name Treasure Beach would be associated with beaches and not bushes, hills or mountain.

I am presently undertaking a mammoth research on the entire Parish of St. Elizabeth and will gladly share my information; but then again I was warned not be believe anything I read, but there will always be belivers and non-belivers.

I must apoligize to BILLY'S BAY TO THE BONE, my comment yesteray was meant for BILLY'S BAY BORN AND BRED.

I do have one question for anyone out there who might know. When was the District of Billy's Bay incorporated? Growing up I knew it as Billaise Bay.

Billy's Bay to the Bone, so what you are saying is Lewis Town is all Hills and bushes and Billy's Bay is a beautiful water front island with now bushes and hills? Since the dicussion is on these places I would have to say you are talking about Lewis Town being all Hills and Bushes. U don't hear anyone talking about Billy's Bay being a Swamp. Don't get me wrong I have love for the place and the people that lives there. I even have family that live there. I'm not being disrespectful, just being honest. Lewis Town does have bushes and Hills, but Billy's Bay do too.

I think the Survey Department downtown Kingston may be able to satisfy the question of places and names.

Did a poster not explain that 'Treasure Beach' was a fairly recent naming?

Interestingly there is an old photograph in the National Library that shows a lady and two children outside a thatched hut (bohio or caney) in the Great Pedro Bluff claiming it to be the last refuge of the Arawaks (Taino).

Notes by Astley Clerk, a now deceased collector of Jamaicana, also record a claim that Parotee is the last refuge of these exceptional people.

In truth those of us with ancestors in the area probably carry the blood of the Taino. There are local families that claim Taino ancestry.

I wonder what the place names were then?

Am not being bashful, As I said before I don't find your solution simple, I do have a sense of direction and I don't need your help (THANK YOU VERY MUCH) maybe a Rocket Scientist but surely not you. I prefer to take Billy's To The Bone word any day.

The land God gave us to live on does not show arrogance or ignorance and does does not have a problem that need a solution, it's the people that's living on it.

That's it Neighbouring Village!

In our pursuit of credit rating, bling-bling and the pursuit of respectability it is easy to forget that land/soil fertility, healthy oceans and air and the care for our neighbours earthwide is an ancient charge.

Recovering the practice of Stewardship would serve us in claiming the legacy that is hidden in plain sight.

Maybe it needs a portion of any population to wake up to this.

I sometimes wonder if many think that ideas like this are imported and not Jamaican enough?

Tdotmoney; please dont twist my words, I never indicated that Lewis Town was all bushes and hill, I was only speaking generally about the circumstances of association. I have never been to Lewis Town and therefore I am not at liberty to comment neither positive or negative on the place. I decisively refer to Billys Bay as a swamp, I can defend that, as my "navel" string is buried there. What is a swamp - " A usually low-lying area of soft waterlogged ground and standing water" no be honest is this Billys Bay.

Anyway I thank all those you read my postings and comment whether negative or positive, It is appreciated.

Good reasoning Turey, cheers!
why all the rambling? eg. why should some one who commented only on the Upper Billy's Bay issue get a lecture on the whole Treasure Beach issue.

Jerry.... where is the land man???
By posting you raised all of this upper, lower inclusive and exclusive Treasure Beach debate.... why don't you tell us where the land is???

eyrieguy@aol.com

Come wid the info!!!

Billy's Bay to the Bone, I wasn't twisting your words thats what it sounds like to me in your previous posting. I apologize for taking it the wrong way. Stay up and keep it real.

To sum it up folks, the whole scenery of Treasure Beach, Billy's Bay, Lewis town, and neighboring villages is just extraordinary. In fact, the whole Saint Elizabeth is so breathtaking that it just isn't worth the while to sweat the small stuff discussing partitions and boundaries. I'd say pick your little spot. Relax, Refresh and Reward yourself with the best of St Bess.

Yes NV, a reasoning fi do it!

Everybody tired a di bawlin' out.

All the best.
